<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This trip was to achieve one of my life goals. The planning started 1 year prior with intensive research. Aurora Borealis can be seen in many other northern countries like Iceland, Finland, Alaska, Denmark, Scotland but why Norway? You may asked. I didn’t really mind the location as long as it has a high strike rate, if not the highest. Travelling half the globe from New Zealand with two young kids in tow is already a huge and challenging undertaking itself I couldn’t bear coming back with disappointment. Money aside.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had my preference set on a cruise to lessen the holiday stress. However, much to my disappointment, most cruise lines do not sail near any aurora location during winter times until I came across Hurtigruten. A Norwegian cruise which has more than 100 years of sailing along Norway coast, crossing the arctic circle. Adding to my excitement, they have one promise. A guarantee to see aurora on their classic 12-day round trip Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen voyage or a free ticket for your next ride! How’s that not convincing? On top of that, they offers free young explorer programme on the ship for children aged 7-13. My son is sorted!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fast forward a year later. We packed and we flew a total of more than 24 hours with a 3-day stopover in Singapore. We arrived Bergen on a rainy day. The cruise check-in process was quick and smooth. After a health and safety presentation, we boarded the cruise and to our two interconnecting cabins.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hurtigruten has many cruise ships sailing the same voyage at different time. All of them are working ship hence a much more simpler and smaller in size comparing to those luxurious giant monsters by Cunard, Celebrity or Royal Caribbean. It’s an expedition rather than a pleasured voyage. And also due to its smaller in size, a bumpy ride is inevitable especially when they crossed an open stretch of sea.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We were on MS Trollfjord with a capacity of approx. 800 passengers. Facilities include 2-storey panorama lounge, bars, café, library, restaurant, Jacuzzi, movie theatre, fitness room, playpen and a shop. As you can see, pretty unsophisticated. The crews were helpful, friendly, professional and all speak very good English. Our interconnecting cabins were cleaned and of typical size. Food wise, Norwegian loves their seafood so there were always fish/seafood on offer. Food was by all accounts, delicious but as an Asian, 12 days of western food has proven just too much. Rice were on the table on two occasions and trust me, my eyes almost popped out when I saw the mountain of white rice on the buffet. I’d never loved rice that much in my life! LOL</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The ship made many stops in this voyage. The shortest was 15 mins to pick up/drop off passengers/cars/cargo whereas the longest was 7 hours. For any stop longer than 1 hour, Hurtigruten offers optional land excursions which passengers can signed up throughout the journey. We joined 3. The rest of the time we just wandered on our own. Norway as a whole is very travel friendly despite the polar night. We had only about 1 hour of weak twilight as we reached the northernmost town, Hammerfest.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We crossed the Arctic Circle on day 4 at 0700 hours. As part of the tradition, we had the Arctic Circle ceremony whereby King Neptune poured icy water down your back. Participation is optional of course. Each passenger on board was given a certificate called Certificate of the Arctic Circle.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Aurora made four appearances throughout our journey. The first appearance occurred on Christmas day as the ship was leaving Tromso. The announcement came while we were having dinner! Off to the deck we went. It started off as two simple green lines, and eventually grew into full swing. I was living in the moment and totally in awe as it danced before me.</span></div>

Where did the time go? In less than 3 months we are going to bid 2017 goodbye and welcome the new year. It dawned on me that time flashes through like never before these few years.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was so enthralled by the Vivid Sydney 2 years old during my gals trip I vowed to bring my kids (especially AJ) there one day. So we finally did this year as a 3-day long weekend getaway. To be perfectly frank, having to see what I saw 2 years ago, this year Vivid was rather disappointing. It was still amazing by all means but not as good as the one I had been to. Nonetheless, it is still a great experience for AJ. Arwen was too young to enjoy and she was already building her castle in the air while we were checking out the lights. Oh and I should also mention that this was Arwen's first overseas trip (not counting when she was still in my tummy lol)!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have heard a lot about this place hence was very excited when we decided to have our friends reunion there. Millbrook certainly lived up the hypes and exceeded my expectations. The 500 acres of natural beauty and serenity of this place is intoxicating. I can now see why it is so highly rated and well recommended especially for those who need a break from their busy schedules and even more so for those golf enthusiasts. They have two award winning restaurants on site. The Kobe Cuisine which I was very keen to try unfortunately was fully booked. So we opted for the Millhouse Restaurant which did not fail to put a very big smile on my face. It is a place that I will not hesitate to return.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We have learnt that there’s a café sitting right on top at the observatory. Perfect luncheon destination, don’t you think? As we arrived, all outside tables were taken except this very one, literally positioned right by the edge of a corner which offers the perfect view. Best seat in the house I would say. It was vacant. I was tempted but for the sake of my children’s safety, we turned and headed inside which still offered a good view through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Later, I grabbed my drink and sit outside. The view, and oh the view, to say I was in awe is an understatement!</span></div>

Our itinerary had included Air Force Museum, Cashmere Hill lookup, Gondola, New Brighton Pier and a great time catching up with relatives. And after so many years, I finally managed to re-visit Strawberry Fare - a restaurant that I fancied in my campus years but couldn't afford to go often. Their desserts still amazed me!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A mock castle built by an entrepreneur and politician, William Larnach in 1871. It took more than 200 workmen to complete the main structure in 3 years. Then another 12 years to work on the interior by master European craftsmen. The castle showcases the finest material from around the world. It is a piece of New Zealand history!</span></div>

More than a month since my last update?!?! Seriously? Where have the time gone?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Alright, road trip! We drove to Wanaka and Queenstown, staying at Cromwell this time. Couldn't get accommodation at Queenstown due to my lack of planning. The trip was short (3 days) and bitter sweet (you'll know why).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's funny I have done countless of road trips around the country particularly south island but I am just never getting enough of it, even now with two young kids in tow I would still go in a heartbeat!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The destination for day 1 was Wanaka. We did a brief stop at Benmore hydro station for educational purpose. An impromptu decision that was </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(my son would say I talked like Yoda! lol He is soooo into Star Wars).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then we stopped at Omarama for lunch before we continue our journey to Wanaka. As we drove not very far from Omarama, we came across this sea of lupins that's just perfect for photo stop. Lupins are considered weeds in New Zealand (such a beautiful weeds I don't mind having them in my garden!). We saw waves and waves of them on both side of the road along the way but all considered too dangerous to stop for photo taking. Finally to my pleasant surprise, arrived to this one that has ample space for car to drive in and walkway for you to indulge yourself fully. So stop we must! (Yoda again!) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This year, as we were so busy and overwhelmed with the move, we told AJ that we may not be able to throw him a party this year. He asked if he could have a few besties over for a small party (or to put it simply, a playdate!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So we had 3 kids over, got some pizzas ordered and they were happy as larry! I was lucky I still managed to track down a baker to make him a cake. That topped the day!</span></div>

It was a lunch affair. I dug out this bright Alexander Wang number that hubby bought for me when I was 5 months pregnant. And that was more than a year ago. Luckily it fits perfectly!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the real day, hubby and I dashed out for a quick lunch at The Oxford. Simple meal but an enjoyable one. To date, I am still thinking about the mushroom pasta. It was divine!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We moved in! Loving our new home. Sunrise right at our face everyday!</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We have unpacked all that we can. We now have to wait till the additional shelves to be installed before we could unpack further. When we bought the house, although brand new, there were a few tweaks here and there required. One of them is the rebuilding of my walk in robe. The walk-in robe is very small, probably less than half the size of my Auckland home and there is just no way it could house all my clothes. So I am getting it redesign to maximize the space and hopefully can fit more. Downsizing is still inevitable, sadly. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This week, AJ started at the new school and he is loving it. He comes home with a big grin from cheek to cheek everyday and always very looking forward to go to school in the morning. As a parent, nothing beats seeing a happy child. I really couldn't ask for more but feeling extremely thankful.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have also enrolled Arwen into a daycare, starting in November. Part time for now.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Things will be rolling in the coming weeks. Curtain, shelving, walk-in robe etc will be installed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In the meantime, a Lake Tekapo picnic tomorrow!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We arrived. Safe and sound. Temporary accommodation was provided by Rick's new company at Panorama Motel. It's actually a 2-bedroom fully furnished house. Nothing fancy, just adequate.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The whole week was all rushing mad to get things sorted mainly on our new home to meet our move in date while juggling with two kids. To be honest, I am amazed at our productivity. We pushed through and got heaps done.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today, our cars and stuff arrived. Looking at all 280+ items/boxes, I had a rude awakening. Panic attack almost. Unpacking is a killer!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's going to be frantic the next few days to get the house all setup.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My life here in NZ has been a big roundabout. Auckland was the very first place in NZ I set foot in. I moved from Auckland-Dunedin-Christchurch-Wellington and back to Auckland 6 years ago. It was for good...or so I thought. Who would have known...I am now returning south again! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Timaru.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Life has been quite a roller coaster past 12 months. There were many changes, both planned and unforeseen. A tough ride it was. I was emotionally and physically challenged. The dust still yet to settle as we "speak". Tonnes of things to sort out and organised. It is a big move after-all and what more with a little baby in toll. It's funny. The last time we moved from Wellington to Auckland, AJ was 9 months old. And 6 years later, we are moving with Arwen being about the same age as AJ then. I can't help but to think if it's coincidence or we just like this kind of excitement. A postnatal change may be? :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">People asked if I would miss the abundant yummy asian food in Auckland. That yes, but I will miss all the friends here the most. Genuine friends are hard to find these days, and I found them in Auckland. For that, I am forever grateful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Timaru is a very small town. 50K population may be? It is a lifestyle change that we have never attempted before it is nerves testing. But we only live once, if not now then when?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Right now my time are spent between kids and packing. It is frantic but we are getting there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">4 weeks to go....</span><br />
<br /></div>

Chauffeuring them here and there for their activities and fulfilling their ever growing needs. Although I now have less time for myself I am more satisfying now than ever. Never in a million years would I see myself living this life, it is tough but rewarding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am happy.</span><br />

Flight tickets, car rental and accommodation all arranged within a week and off we went! It was our 20th anniversary weekend too. It too was the first time flying Arwen on the plane + road trip. Thankfully she was just like her big bro, travel friendly!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We didn't take much photos this time. With a 5 months old in toll, it's proved too hard. Below photos were taken when my little one was having a nap while her big bro looking out for her in the car. </span><br />

We had an extremely warm autumn that I feel like we didn't have it at all. I missed my favourite season completely. Winter is still pleasant, well when it is crisp and sunny, much like today. I have always avoid wearing dark colours during winter. To me, the weather is already dull enough, why make it worse? </span><br />
